"Honest" Max gives you Loaned Wind Rider Reins which is a free Wind Rider.As stated in the description of the item, this is not a very fast mount (60% speed increase only, but who cares? It's FREE!).

I am lv 77, and he doest say anything but "greetings".

Comment by Xyton

I think this is for people that never got flying mount skill; he doesn't sell anything to me, either.

Comment by s4s4

He's not like all the other flight masters! Atleast he is -honest- enough to tell us he uses used mounts :)

Comment by shinjuru

His name is probably poking fun at the Honest Max Bargains you see everywhere in Los Angeles, California.

Comment by bloppo11

i got a mount i didnt have expert riding skill so that might be the thing

Comment by hooji

So does he give you free training too? Because if so, this would be handy for people who never capped at 70 to save 1k gold.

Comment by RedDragon412

Can he lend a mount to those who were too cheap/lazy/both to get the regular flyer training? I'm so cheap that I want to hit Exalted with the Ebon Blade before I buy my flyer, so as to save a whole 200g, and to get to the QM, you need to do a couple quests on the Icecrown Zeppelin.Edit: This is for my Death Knight, of course.

Does anyone know if this disappears if you get Cold Weather Flying?

Comment by Mojorx

Can we narrow this down a lil ? 77 DK (friends toon) with no flying skill got the loaner riens , is this a mater of not having a flyer , or no 280% skill , or Cold Weather Flying ? I'm afraid to get "too" skilled to acuire this lil treasure !

Comment by MasterPet

When I was level 76 I tried to get one of the gryphons he wouldn't give me one, but then I hit 77 and he gave me one of them. So, it's either upon hitting 77 or getting the K3 quests that he gives you the gryphon.

As of 2/6/09 (February 6, 2009) You cannot obtain this mount he gives out if you have Cold Weather Flying

Comment by benskywalk

this mount is great. it can also be used for completing the acheivment http://www.wowhead.com/?achievement=1428 mines damage the mount not you just run over 10 as fast as you can :) the vehicle takes no knock back either i landed on a mine so i could collect a herb..no knockback no failed attempt. was not letting me use it in other areas tho i will give it another shot in the basin

Comment by Broozer

Ok this confuses me:

and NOT have cold weather flyingversusyou need to have bought cold weather flying first

I am indeed one of those who cannot affort cold weather, let alone that 5k epic fly, so i was very interested in the loan mount.

Comment by wrackup99

Comment by NyteShady

As of patch 3.2, this guy is for the most part useless, you only save roughly 200g. Sorry guys, you still need to cough up that 1600g.

Comment by Catabree

Things like this let you know Blizz is doing a good job of including the lowbie no money havers out there! Here's to us, CHEERS! 8D

Comment by Alpen

I just got the "loaned" flying mount. I didn't bought Expert Riding, Artisan Riding or Cold Weather Flying. so you actually dont need to train anything first to get this mount :D

i was a little confused on this area of the requirements for the "loaned" flying mount, so i just wanted to mention it :D

Comment by Arkmediusx

Like the above person has stated, you do NOT Expert Riding or Cold Weather Flying in order to get the Loan Mount. Just simply walk up to him, click on the "I am interested" and there you have it, a nice Loan Flying Mount for free.

Comment by Fettobetto0

As regular flying mounts flew in 60% speed before patch 3.3, this mount did too. Now, when Blizz increased the speed the speed of "normal" flying mounts to 150%, this mount now also flies in 150%. Confirmed January 14, 2010.

Comment by frostgnome

Its not there any more -_- it really makes me mad grr i was looking for it all day and found out its not there

Comment by bionicbunny86

On my priest I have regular flying and mount (from 70) but not cold weather flying, and he did give me the loan mount, which does fly at 150%. So yes it's still there and yes it still works.

Comment by EranosZenon

Im lvl 80 ive got epic flying plus cold weather flying but i went to max and he would not give me one of the gryphons ?

Comment by balial

Blizzerd must have taken this out. Now he only says welcome friend and what can i do for you.
